x r different than u think

“For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!'” Then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And, they shall not escape. See 1 Thessalonians 1:3.

Times are scary and dangerous all doubters are encouraged to search the global news outlets for convincing evidence. Unscrample them and determine how vulnerable you are to fall victim to one, more or many of them. The reality is they are intensifying exponentially.

Is there hope. U betcha! It’s in Jesus Christ! I for one, with many others will miss the worse of them.

You can join us. You got to understand how you became you. So we’ll start with what the Apostle Paul had to say about it. “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; (note) and your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who will do it.” See 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24.

The real you. You are special because you were created in the very image of God Almighty. At the dawn of human existence God created a man, as a three part being. From the Bible we know this man as Adam.

There was a time on earth, when God had a problem. There wasn’t anyone to manage what He had created. See Genesis 2:5c. So God, took some dirt from the ground, and created a being that was different from everything else He had made. The historical record is as follows. And the LORD God formed, man from the dust of the ground. A lifeless shell, a body, then God breathed His breath into his nostrils. And he, became a living being. See Genesis 2:7. That lifeless shell, ones body which houses our five senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. It’s the breath that God breathed into His created being that gave him his awareness of God. With the ability to communion intellectually with his Creator which Paul identified as ones spirit.

The Psalmist informs us that a time comes that God will take away ones breath and they become dust. See Ecclesiastes 12:7. It’s a process known as death. Paul informs us that death is our inheritance. Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because all sinned. See Romans 5:12. It’s advisable to pay attention to Psalmist, who said, “Teach us to number our days that we might apply our hearts unto wisdom,” Psalms 90:12.

From the Thessalonians scriptural portion of this discussion the referenced order is, spirit soul and body. What remains is to understand ones soul. It’s the part of us that houses ones mind, will and emotions. It’s what the Bible references as the old man. It’s the soul that gets one into trouble. Note, “put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to deceitful lusts.” See Ephesians 4:22. The soul conceives and ones senses becomes the executioner. The whole process prohibits one from communing with Jesus, who is God.

In case it’s unknown, as to how to commune with God, here’s how. It reverses all the blockages that prohibited communion with our Creator. “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead. You will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” See Romans 10:9-10.
